Zhen Hong, not one to miss an opportunity to stir things up, said, "Brother Jin, you've only just returned and you haven't even won over our little sister yet. Your future status... tsk tsk tsk."
Jin Ze snorted coldly, but said nothing and lowered his head to take a sip of tea.
Young man, you have a long road ahead of you, just wait and see.
It seems that their family's preference for girls is ingrained in their bones. Even Jin Ze, who had just returned from the brink of death, was quickly captivated after meeting Zhen Tian for the first time.
"Alright, don't stay up too late. Tian Tian has an exam tomorrow." Lu Kai glanced at his watch; the expensive timepiece seemed to reflect light differently under the lamplight.
Ji Yuzhi glanced at Zhen Tian, who was still eating, and slowly said, "No rush, you eat yours."
The fish in Zhen Tian's mouth seemed to be stuck in her throat: "Did I eat too much?"
She didn't know why she could eat so much today; before she knew it, she had eaten from beginning to end.
"When you're in a good mood, you tend to have a bigger appetite," Zhen Yan said with a smile, trying to smooth things over for her.
Zhen Tian touched the tip of her nose, still a little embarrassed: "Let me finish this and then I'll leave."
She pointed to the fried milk and purple sweet potato and taro paste on the plate in front of her.
The dessert portions for dining in are not large; a small plate of fried milk costs only five pieces, and the purple sweet potato and taro paste is also a small piece placed upside down on the plate, with a corner missing from the taro paste, about the same size as the spoon in Zhen Tian's hand.
Everyone watched as Zhen Tian carefully stuffed food into her mouth, finding it both cute and amusing. Under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhen Tian ate much faster.
"Eat slowly." Ji Yuzhi smoothed her hair.
She put the last piece of fried milk into her mouth, and the crispy outer layer and the soft, tender, and smooth texture inside made her squint her eyes in happiness.
"Eating too much at night is hard to digest, so don't let Tian Tian go straight to sleep when we get home," Zhen Yan instructed before getting into the car.
"Okay, drive carefully, big brother." Zhen Tian waved to him.
“Your third uncle is going abroad tomorrow. You should be starting school by the time he gets back. If you’re bored during the holiday, go visit your uncle.” Lu Kai habitually patted Zhen Tian’s head and then casually pulled a card out of his pocket: “Enjoy your holiday. Be careful with your money in the future so you don’t get scammed.”
Lu Kai couldn't help but bring up the incident when Zhen Tian was frightened by online loans last time.
Zhen Tian took the card with a smile: "Okay, Third Uncle."
"Your little uncle is going back to school too, so I won't be able to accompany you for tomorrow's exam. I'll be waiting for your good news." Lu Yinuo tugged at Zhen Tian's hair that was sticking up at her temple and smiled mischievously.
"good."
Zhen Yan has surgery tomorrow, and Lu Xian, as a civil servant in the Education Bureau, is extremely busy these days. Even while waiting for Tian Tian's exam, he wasn't always available.
"I have to rush back to training too. My little sister is about to go to university, and I'll definitely work hard to get into the national team this time," Zhen Hong said with a smile after taking a deep breath.
This is his second year trying to join the national team, and he is under a lot of pressure.
"You all go about your business. It's okay if you don't come tomorrow because it's a small exam," Lu Ti said gently.
"I'll be going tomorrow..." Zhen Yan wanted to say that he had time tomorrow and could accompany Tian Tian to her exam, but Lu Lin bumped into him: "Brother, let's go on a date tomorrow. I have something to discuss with you."
Zhen Yan raised an eyebrow: "Okay. Then Lu Lin and I will go to the studio tomorrow. If anything happens to my little sister, just call me."
"I'm fine." Lu Yiran shrugged. "I'll go."
Normally, universities don't give students a holiday after the college entrance examination, but he specifically asked for leave. Anyway, their final exams are coming up soon, and there aren't many classes, so he can stay in S City for a few more days.
"I'm planning to go home tomorrow," Jin Ze said after a long pause.
Zhen Lei's smile froze abruptly, then he sighed, "You should go back now. Your grandparents are getting old, you need to take care of their health."
"I know." Mentioning his two elderly relatives made Jin Ze feel uneasy.
His sudden disappearance for so many years must have been most agonizing for his family, but he had no choice; it was a necessary decision for him.
Upon hearing this, Zhen Tian's happy mood seemed to immediately plummet. She shook Ji Yuzhi's hand and said, "Zhizhi."
His tone was indifferent, but Ji Yuzhi could hear the hint of a plea for help in his voice.
He took her hand and stroked it, then gently pushed her forward a little: "Go ahead."
Zhen Tian then hugged Jin Ze as she felt like it: "Brother, don't be sad. Everything will be alright in the future."
Jin Ze was stunned, his body stiffening reflexively, but he relaxed after hearing Zhen Tian's soft voice.
He gave Ji Yuzhi a meaningful look, then hugged Zhen Tian back: "Yes, brother is not sad."
After Zhen Tian finished doing what she wanted, she happily returned to Ji Yuzhi's side and naturally took his hand.
Although Jin Ze hadn't noticed the two of them before, his years of high-risk work had caused his brain to unintentionally record many things he hadn't consciously paid attention to. For example, even though his eyes were on Zhen Lei, the actions and words of the people standing next to Zhen Lei were also recorded in his brain. As his consciousness circulated in his head, it was as if he saw Ji Yuzhi pushing Zhen Tian forward again.
She was once again impressed by Ji Yuzhi. Had he and Tian Tian become so in sync?
Can you understand someone just from a single action or tone of voice?
He understood that feeling, but those were his comrades.
The third day of the college entrance examination was the oral exam, and the students from No. 1 High School were arranged to take the exam at No. 3 High School in the city. They entered in order of class and student number. Zhen Tian's class, Class 8, was neither at the front nor the back. Everyone was waiting outside the examination room, and at this time, Zhen Tian and the others gathered together again.
"How was it, Sweetie? How did the exam go? Did you check the answers when you got back?" Ye Qingyan was still as energetic as ever.
"No." Zhen Tian shook her head. She never had the habit of checking the answers during exams. In the past, it was because she knew she hadn't done well, but this time it was simply because the outcome was already decided and there was no point in checking.
"Hey, why didn't you look? Am I the only one who did?" Ye Qingyan excitedly pulled Zhen Tian aside to share her emotional journey: "You have no idea how dizzy I was when I checked the math answers. I felt like everything I wrote was wrong. But when I checked the English answers, oh my god, I was ecstatic! The ups and downs of life were unbearable for most people..."
She talked on and on, and at that moment Yang Feiguang and Shao Junli also came over.
Ye Qingyan stopped and turned to ask them, "Did you two check the answers? How did it go? Did you do well on the test?"
Yang Feiguang, speaking in a loud voice, had a smug look on his face.
